Boehner/Cantor/McCarthy hold Tuesday presser suggesting they are ready to deal with the president.
Boehner: "The president says we can’t afford to wait. Well guess what? I agree with the president...It’s time for the Senate to work with the House, to work with the president, to help find common ground to move our economy forward and get the American people back to work."
Halperin's Take
Color the White House highly skeptical that GOP congressional leaders are really ready to make compromises and take risks to get things done on jobs in DC. To be sure, part of what is driving Republican rhetoric is party pollsters telling officials that the public wants to hear such things. As with most political analysis these days, the resolution of these matters will come down to the super committee.
